jdobbin Posted May 7, 2007 Report Posted May 7, 2007 http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/070506/...ethnic_research While the Conservatives lead an investigation into polling commissioned by previous governments, the prime minister's own department failed to publicly disclose public-opinion research it conducted within ethnic communities last year.Depositing reports of all public-opinion research with Library and Archives Canada is one of the mandatory provisions in the government's Federal Accountability Act. Alongside an investigation into government polling between 1990-2003, the disclosure policy was designed to address allegations that the previous Liberal administration used taxpayers' money to fund partisan research through friendly firms. But a $117,000 research project completed for the Privy Council Office, entitled "Exploring the Views of Canada's Multicultural Communities," does not appear in public records. The report was issued last September, meaning it should have been publicly listed no later than March. What is the reason for the delay? Does everything have to be found by applying the freedom of information act? Quote
